There's no documented evidence of any harmful effects of fenistil drops in infants. Fenistil is an anti-histamine (H1 receptor antagonist) commonly used for the symptomatic relief of allergic conditions of the skin, conjunctiva and nose (rhinitis). It can be given safely in the dose of 3-10 drops 3 times daily for the relief of nasal congestion.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
